Access to the building The New York Fed may close to the public at any time if heightened security is needed. Visitors to the New York Fed must show an officially issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, and go through scanning equipment to enter the building. Wheelchair access is provided from the Maiden Lane entrance. Cameras or camera phones may not be used in our facilities.
